<span id="Epiphany-Function-Attributes-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">6.33.10 Epiphany Function Attributes</h4>

<p>These function attributes are supported by the Epiphany back end:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><span id="index-disinterrupt-function-attribute_002c-Epiphany"></span>
</dd>
<dt><code>disinterrupt</code></dt>
<dd><p>This attribute causes the compiler to emit
instructions to disable interrupts for the duration of the given
function.
</p>
<span id="index-forwarder_005fsection-function-attribute_002c-Epiphany"></span>
</dd>
<dt><code>forwarder_section</code></dt>
<dd><p>This attribute modifies the behavior of an interrupt handler.
The interrupt handler may be in external memory which cannot be
reached by a branch instruction, so generate a local memory trampoline
to transfer control.  The single parameter identifies the section where
the trampoline is placed.
</p>
<span id="index-interrupt-function-attribute_002c-Epiphany"></span>
</dd>
<dt><code>interrupt</code></dt>
<dd><p>Use this attribute to indicate
that the specified function is an interrupt handler.  The compiler generates
function entry and exit sequences suitable for use in an interrupt handler
when this attribute is present.  It may also generate
a special section with code to initialize the interrupt vector table.
</p>
<p>On Epiphany targets one or more optional parameters can be added like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">void __attribute__ ((interrupt (&quot;dma0, dma1&quot;))) universal_dma_handler ();
</pre></div>

<p>Permissible values for these parameters are: <code>reset</code><!-- /@w -->,
<code><span class="nolinebreak">software_exception</span></code><!-- /@w -->, <code><span class="nolinebreak">page_miss</span></code><!-- /@w -->,
<code>timer0</code><!-- /@w -->, <code>timer1</code><!-- /@w -->, <code>message</code><!-- /@w -->,
<code>dma0</code><!-- /@w -->, <code>dma1</code><!-- /@w -->, <code>wand</code><!-- /@w --> and <code>swi</code><!-- /@w -->.
Multiple parameters indicate that multiple entries in the interrupt
vector table should be initialized for this function, i.e. for each
parameter <var>name</var><!-- /@w -->, a jump to the function is emitted in
the section <span class="nolinebreak">ivt_entry_</span><var>name</var><!-- /@w -->.  The parameter(s) may be omitted
entirely, in which case no interrupt vector table entry is provided.
</p>
<p>Note that interrupts are enabled inside the function
unless the <code>disinterrupt</code> attribute is also specified.
</p>
<p>The following examples are all valid uses of these attributes on
Epiphany targets:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">void __attribute__ ((interrupt)) universal_handler ();
void __attribute__ ((interrupt (&quot;dma1&quot;))) dma1_handler ();
void __attribute__ ((interrupt (&quot;dma0, dma1&quot;))) 
  universal_dma_handler ();
void __attribute__ ((interrupt (&quot;timer0&quot;), disinterrupt))
  fast_timer_handler ();
void __attribute__ ((interrupt (&quot;dma0, dma1&quot;), 
                     forwarder_section (&quot;tramp&quot;)))
  external_dma_handler ();
</pre></div>

<span id="index-long_005fcall-function-attribute_002c-Epiphany"></span>
<span id="index-short_005fcall-function-attribute_002c-Epiphany"></span>
<span id="index-indirect-calls_002c-Epiphany"></span>
</dd>
<dt><code>long_call</code></dt>
<dt><code>short_call</code></dt>
<dd><p>These attributes specify how a particular function is called.
These attributes override the
<samp>-mlong-calls</samp> (see <a href="Adapteva-Epiphany-Options.html">Adapteva Epiphany Options</a>)
command-line switch and <code>#pragma long_calls</code> settings.
